ACM SIGMIS CPR, for the 58th edition, continues to bring together the academic and practitioner communities to discuss issues at the intersection of society, organizations, individuals and information technology (IT). Typically, we convened face-to-face in a collocated setting; this year we meet virtually for second time in ACM SIGMIS CPR's history.
The COVID pandemic has changed and is still changing the way we work, socialize, and communicate. Our work, socializations, and communications have become heavily mediated and moderated by information technologies. Within this context, we have curated a set of high-quality papers and abstracts that aim to develop new theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches that help in the understanding and managing work and communities. In particular, this edition of the proceedings also includes studies examining traditional themes such as retention and turnover, career success, telework, technostress, and social transformations. This edition would serve as a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners in the coming years.
Putting together the ACM SIGMIS CPR 2021 conference was made possible by the work of many dedicated individuals. We thank the authors for providing content for the program and the program committee and reviewers who helped develop this high-quality program with their developmental comments. We received 25 submissions and accepted 15 papers (acceptance rate of 67%) for this edition of the conference. Special thanks go to Sheridan Proceedings Service for their work in processing the proceedings in a timely manner.
